Alright, this is a fresh install. I emerged all of my favorite apps before I actually got gnome working (mozilla, frozen-bubble, etc). Everything emerged just fine then. Now that I am actually in Gnome, and I attempt to emerge something where I need to fetch the files, this is what I get...
Code:
root@Tux largesarge # emerge blender
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-gfx/blender-2.27 to /
>>> Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2
--08:27:22--  http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2
           => `/usr/portage/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2'
Resolving gentoo.oregonstate.edu... done.
Connecting to gentoo.oregonstate.edu[128.193.0.3]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...

It then times out after a whle. It tries again.... and again. (five times total). It does this for ALL emerges. Help?

I've got the same problem. At one time the server didn't even respond to icmp packets(ping). Something have to be wrong with the server because I have'nt changed anything.

looks like the mirror you use is temporary down. try changing the mirror you use. you can use the tool mirrorselect (emerge app-portage/mirrorselect) to have an easy user interface for that.

cheers

heh, I mean having a nice mirror switcher would be great. I can't really emerge it though, they all try and go through the oregon state server. I seem to recall something in make.conf at the bottom where I could put in mirrors. I'll look in there, see if I find anything. Anyone know how to put in mirrors manually?

And it looks like you can get a list of mirrors here:

argh
Code:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gentoo http://sunsite.cnla$ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/g$

thats my make.conf line. There are a lot more mirrors, they just got cut off.

here is what happens.
Code:
root@Tux largesarge # emerge xchat
!!! Invalid token (not "=") http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
!!! Parse error in /etc/make.conf.
!!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them.
